Major Updates

[shady_heaven]

Well, I figured it’s about that time of year again. Yep. The time where I write an update truly befitting of an online journal. Something informative, with some depth and insight into the mind of its author. Something I can look back on 5 years from now and say “Oh, so that’s what was going on in my life then.”

First and foremost - because I am

The problem with a roommate is that I am an *extremely* private person, and I really, really hate my personal space being invaded by someone I don't know very well, no matter how "nice" she is. Plus I'm rather weird and unique, so the odds that the girl would be "a girl like me" are slim-to-none, to say the least. And if she WERE like me, she'd drive me nuts!

I am not roommate material. Period. Given a choice between getting a roommate and staying at home with Mom and Dad, I'll pick Mom and Dad every time. You and I met online, so you didn't really experience it, but in person I have a hard time warming up to people. I'm very cautious and hard to please. And did I mention private? I like my privacy. To the tenth power.

The only exceptions I would make to my "no-roommates" policy are people I've known for years, have a lot of common ground with, and get along really well with: like Jen and my sister. I'm not willing to risk a stranger.

Besides, the primary reason most people get a roommate is to split the rent, and I don't know if you read my other posts, but money's not the thing I'm having an issue with anymore. My biggest problem now is *getting* to Vancouver to fill out rental apps in time. Everything else has been resolved.

Alright. That's understandable, you want someone you've known for years and is a girl.

So you like your privacy, even from a girl? I mean, your a girl and she's a girl. She can be sitting naked on her computer doing her assignment, you walk in and she's alright with it, something like that. \

Your a very private woman, that's fine. :D

When I say "private" I don't mean for purely physical reasons. It makes no difference to me wheather a strange man or a strange woman sees me naked, or wheather I see them naked; I'd experience the same squirm-factor either way.

I mean I like having my own place to have complete, utter, and absolute control of where *I* make the rules and can do whatever I want whenever I want. Having a roommate, male or female, takes some of that power away from me. And I have a lot of obsessions/decor habits that most people would find strange. :D

I guess you could call me a "control freak" in some regards. I like things to go a certain way, and I get very upset when that doesn't happen. And again, I would much rather live alone than with someone I haven't known for years and properly acclimatised myself too.

Yes, I realize I am the black sheep of society. But it's okay to be different, right? *grins*
